EMERGENCY - EAST GIPPSLAND IS BURNING
Forest Fire Management Victoria is burning 200,000 hectares, including aged forest and threatened species in Mitchell River National Park and Lake Tyers Forest Park - vital refuges that escaped the 2019/2020 bushfires. They claim it will 'make us safe'. But the science says, although burning may reduce 'fuel' loads for 6 months, it triggers a pulse of highly flammable regrowth... for decades.
